Spies start social networking

The Financial Times reported yesterday that US intelligence agencies will soon launch ‘A Space’, an internal communications tool modelled on social networking sites such as Facebook and the Communicators' Network.

Sounds like hackers have got a field day coming - Die Hard 5.0 shouldn't be too far away!

According to the FT article, the intelligence agencies have built an internal collaborative site called Intellipedia, based on Wikipedia and the CIA also recently used Facebook to recruit.

Big Shiny Thing comments on the issue with: "All those organisations busily banning Facebook and other new tools of collaboration and communication should take heed."
